Ambien has drawn significant attention in the US following Hunter Biden’s surprising claim that his father, former President Joe Biden, struggled in his June 2024 debate against President Donald Trump due to the sleep medication Ambien. Hunter attributed his father’s performance to exhaustion from an intense travel schedule, stating that the 81-year-old was given Ambien to help him rest.
The debate, marked by Joe Biden’s incoherent and faltering responses, fueled widespread speculation about a possible Alzheimer’s diagnosis, intensifying concerns about his cognitive health.In a candid three-hour interview with YouTube creator Andrew Callaghan, aired on July 21, 2025, Hunter Biden explained, “He flew around the world, basically the mileage he could have flown around the world three times.
He’s 81 years old. He’s tired as s---. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep, he gets up on the stage and looks like a deer in the headlights.” The debate performance led to Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race a month later, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to secure the Democratic nomination.
The Ambien revelation, not previously mentioned in Biden’s medical records, has reignited discussions about his fitness for office and prompted Republican-led investigations into his mental acuity during his final year as president.
